The post you are reporting:
I don't have the full list Keith,I actually got the figs from a fellow Councillor for Mill Hill,another thing comes to mind,we are rated by the DDC for these parks,and like all parks they do not make money,so by offering them to Parish Councils who rate us as well,we are paying for them twice,and because they do not make money many Parish/Town Councils will not take them on,so they are run down until they are dangerous and then closed for H & S reasons.
If you are in any doubt about some Parish Councils who are usually not in a position to run these area's or employ a caretaker/groundsman,then look at the Western Heights Sports ground. Because they need a new changing facility they can not be used until a something like 250,000 is put into it,now I know the Western Heights is not a play area but a sports field,but if the equipment needs changing say in Guston,and they are left with a bill of £20,000 to update thier equipment,they ain't going to do it,result closed down not by the District by the Parish seems a get out and pass the buck to me.
